I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"If you want to hide Hyoudou Issei's identity as the Crimson Dragon Emperor, that's impossible. I remember that these two divine artifacts have a special connection. Perhaps the other party already knew his identity as the Crimson Dragon Emperor, but simply disdained to kill the weak Hyoudou Issei."

Sora glanced at Rias expressionlessly, once again ruthlessly dashing Hyoudou Issei's hopes.

Since the other party doesn't know he's the Crimson Dragon Emperor, there's still a chance for him to grow stronger. But if they already knew...

Judging from their intentions, Hyoudou Issei can only hope for the best. Since they are not in their own territory, they can forget about any family support.

If Raiji really wanted to kill Hyoudou Issei, even if they all attacked together, they wouldn't be able to stop him.

"...I almost forgot about this. If what you said is true, Cangna, the other party probably wouldn't bother killing the currently weak Yicheng-kun. This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

Rias rubbed her head in exasperation. She did want to temporarily hide her identity as Hyoudou Issei, but because of her own affairs and what had just happened, she almost forgot the most important thing.

That means these two divine artifacts are connected, and the two powerful Heavenly Dragons, the Crimson Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor, within these artifacts must also have a connection as sworn enemies.

Just as Sona said, perhaps Raizetsu already knew Hyoudou Issei's identity, but simply didn't bother to take action.

"By the way, Issei, are you able to communicate with the Crimson Dragon Emperor Draig from the divine artifact now?"

"Huh? I tried what you said, Minister, but it didn't work."

Hyoudou Issei scratched the back of his head and said that after Rias discovered the true nature of his divine artifact, she had him do related things to communicate with the soul within it.

I have never seen Drag in my consciousness or in my dreams.

"That's strange. Could it be that Draig thinks you, the current host of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, are too incompetent, so he's given up on you?"

Rias looked Hyoudou Issei up and down with a strange expression. She believed that Hyoudou Issei would communicate with the artifact according to the meditation method she taught him, but why did he fail?

"That's too much! Am I really that bad, Captain?" Hyoudou Issei's face immediately fell upon hearing this, as if such words were a blow to him.

Especially when it's said in public by the person you secretly love.

"Everything is relative. If the president and I hadn't met that man earlier, we wouldn't think you're so bad."

Sona's original Shinra Tsubaki, standing beside her, suddenly said this: If no one had seen what the White Dragon Emperor's host looked like, no one would think Hyoudou Issei was a loser.

"...So what should I do next?"

Hyoudou Issei felt somewhat disappointed upon realizing the reality, but he soon wanted to know how he could catch up with Raiji.

People strive to prove themselves. Since others believe they are inferior to each other, the only response is to demonstrate their abilities through concrete actions and achievements.

"If you don't work hard, senior, then there's no hope; you can only wait to die."

The expressionless kitten looked at Hyoudou Issei and said this.

She was just encouraging Hyoudou Issei, telling him not to give up on himself. If you can't match someone's strength, you have to work hard.

If you don't work hard, you'll just be wasting your life.

But how could Hyoudou Issei, who had already died once, be willing to accept it? For some reason, he remembered the last time he went on a date with Amano Yuuma.

Even in death, it would only be holding hands; he absolutely did not want that!

He, Hyoudou Issei, wants to be gay! He wants to be lewd! He wants H!

"I will absolutely not die until I touch the minister's oppa!!!"

He declared his will with the loudest voice, which made Rias and Akeno Himejima feel helpless and amused, but also worried about this guy who made no attempt to hide his desires.

Besides worrying about whether he would be killed by his nemesis, he was also worried about Hyoudou Issei's current situation, because he ignored the students from his own school who heard his shouts from afar and were looking at the new exchange student with the expression of looking at a pervert.

On his first day here, Hyoudou Issei, an exchange student, still hasn't shaken off his former reputation as a pervert.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend! The golden palace in the Beast Hall is a good thing. This kind of thing, similar to the Hall of Heroes, can be used by the ship girls. As long as Razer doesn't die, the Hall of Heroes records the ship girls' mental cubes, which can be resurrected, thus increasing their military strength.

However, I plan to transform Vallaha, which carries the power of the Beast Temple, into the Abyss of Crimson Lotus, and it would be even better if I could bless each member with the attributes of "Unchanging" and "Stillness".

Chapter Fifteen: Nini, the Underworld Person; New Ship Girl Cheshire Cat

"Hey hey~~, have the vampire ninjas from the underworld received the message? They don't need to come for now. This place... aha~ no need for any reconnaissance, it's already been taken care of by those dragons."

In the home of a doujinshi artist in Koto Ward, Kyoto, a mature-looking woman with a tired face is slumped over the table, holding her phone to her ear and responding listlessly.

She was dressed in very cool summer clothes, and her hot and voluptuous figure was very attractive. Negrilia Nebilos, also known as Nini or Ningning, was lying lazily on the table and talking with people from the underworld.

She was sleepy-eyed and suffered from narcolepsy. She looked out the window at the clear sky, her tired eyes flickering with inexplicable emotions.

She is a person from the underworld, the strongest person from the underworld. Before the appearance of the Megalo System, she alone was able to repel the invasion of the magical girls into the underworld. Touching her can cancel the transformation of the magical girls.

This alone made it impossible for the magical girl of Velie to forget her.

She is also Xiaoyou's good friend, and the armor Xiaoyou is wearing was made by her.

Although she has a significant background, she is now just a doujinshi artist and doesn't really get involved anymore.

She had witnessed the sudden events in the sky and was quite impressed by the strength of the dragons and otherworldly beings.

Right now, she was talking to her informant in the underworld. She rubbed her eyes, downed the coffee on the table in one gulp, picked up her phone with magical patterns shimmering on the back, and said in her usual lazy tone:

"Tell the vampire ninjas in the underworld to behave themselves and not to mess around here. The guardian of my friend is no pushover. He has already killed so many vampire ninjas in the human world that only a handful remain."

The warning was delivered in such a manner that it was only this one person who made it, but she didn't really care what the underworld vampire ninja would do, because she didn't have any good feelings towards them anyway.

The vampire ninjas in the human world are transformed from humans who received Yu's blood, while those in the underworld are transformed from underworld beings who received Yu's blood. In terms of strength, the ninjas in the underworld are stronger than those in the human world.

But in Nini's eyes, it wasn't much better. Although she didn't manage things much anymore, she still kept up with the necessary information.

When her close friend Xiaoyou came to the human world, she was the first to receive the news, but she didn't go to see Xiaoyou.

Because Xiaoyou probably didn't want to see her good friend either, fearing that her own affairs would implicate her. As Xiaoyou's friend, Nini really understood how kind and stubborn Xiaoyou was.

You always have to bear everything alone, even though Xiaoyou isn't the kind of girl who can tolerate loneliness.

She also had some connection with Ariel, because she was invited by that guy to rebel against some so-called queen because of her ability to counter the magical girl, but she wasn't interested and was too lazy, so she didn't agree.

Xiaoyou's exact location and situation were told to her by Ariel. Ariel also learned that Xiaoyou had attracted another human and even speculated about when Xiaoyou would leave Reiji.

After all, Xiaoyou never stays in one place for too long, and she doesn't want to affect others because of her own reasons.

Unexpectedly, something interesting happened this time: Lei Zhe, who took in Xiao You, not only escaped unharmed, but was also alive and well.

She had witnessed the battle in the sky, and especially after learning that the enemy was there for her best friend Xiaoyou, she immediately began fighting without hesitation.

It was this point that made Nini realize that this human took good care of Xiaoyou and cared about her a lot.

"This little guy who dares to risk his life for her... I wonder if Yu-chan will think of the Night King when she looks at him? After all... he was also someone who gave his life for you."

Nini hung up the phone, looked down at the unfinished drawing, and her sleepy eyes now held an indescribable complexity and sorrow.

Based on her understanding of Xiaoyou, if Xiaoyou cares more about Lei Zhe, she will probably leave him because of that 'care'.

From the distant past to the present, Xiaoyou has never lacked protectors. As long as people understand the girl's true nature, there will always be sincere people who will fight for her.

There are greedy people in this world who crave everything Xiaoyou has, and there are also people with firm and shining hearts who will protect this girl without asking for anything in return.

"Lei...Zhe, will you also be just a passerby in Yu-chan's long and lonely life...?"

Nini, who was slowly lying on the table drawing, also hoped that a miracle would happen to her best friend.

I hope to change her current situation, I hope to help her regain her feelings, I hope... Whew~~~

Nini, who was suddenly experiencing a narcolepsy attack, suddenly relaxed and instantly fell asleep.

***************

After the last raid, Reiji was no longer satisfied with his taming.

He was very lucky when facing the demigod undead. He had a very poor affinity with the enemy, and he was able to overcome all of the enemy's killing moves by relying on his own unique characteristics.

However, he wouldn't place too much hope on his own special abilities; that powerful undead was a prime example.

Although the opponent is far superior to Thor in terms of soul and special laws, Thor may not necessarily lose to the opponent if they really fight.

However, it cannot neutralize enemy attacks as effectively as Lei Zhe, since that undead has abandoned physical development.

He may surpass Thor in some aspects, but he can never match Thor in terms of overall versatility.

The undead's domain of law was terrifying last time. If he hadn't absorbed some fragments of the opponent's death power and gained corresponding resistance, plus his own ability to reject all phenomena, he would have been much stronger.

Lei Zhe was certain that he would be in danger, so he didn't want to fall behind in terms of overall development.

His life has temporarily returned to square one, except that his shadow clones have been accompanied by some demons he dislikes when they go to school.

He had already warned him. Rez is a man of principle. Although he hates demons, he is not unreasonable.

Just like last time, when they spared a certain magical girl for Tohru and Kobayashi's sake, they knew what the consequences would be if the girl didn't appreciate their kindness the second time.

He didn't believe the guy behind Rias would dare leave them here forever; this wasn't Kuoh Town, that demonic territory.

Lei Zhe gave a warning the first time, and was annihilated the second time!

He is now focusing his attention on the new game, Wrath of Gods, which will be officially announced for release in a week.

Taking into account the time it takes for the game to be released and for it to gain traction, and finally the time required to unlock the game, Lei Zhe is certain that he will experience a massive surge in combat power.

"Drink!"

In the training grounds of the block world's garrison, Lei Zhe, dressed in loose martial arts attire and barefoot, is sparring with his own shadow. His companion is surrounded by blood-red killing intent, and the black energy of his shadow forms an extremely ominous black and red appearance.

The fists, brimming with murderous intent, transformed into a dense rain of bullets, striking at Lei Zhe's true form, each blow aimed at vital points.

"!"

As Lei Zhe himself prepared to face the attack from his own shadow, his eyes suddenly narrowed when confronted with this dense barrage of killing intent. A surge of energy rose from his muscular body, as dense as light, and as pure as the clear blue sky of a summer plateau.

No fluctuations!

A blue, ocean-like wave emanated from Razer's body, shimmering with blue light that condensed into an outer garment of energy around him—this was the wave of nothingness!

Lei Zhe raised his arm and clenched his fist, suddenly assuming the posture of a Vajra warrior, like a Buddha statue, gathering all his energy beneath his skin, and blue energy flowing in his eyes.

The aura of the same level as the killing intent fluctuation, the pure blue aura, lacked the dangerous and bloodthirsty aura of the red killing intent fluctuation.

Rather, it is a pure, extremely refined, and ethereal feeling without any impurities.

Faced with the shadowy self that attacked like a demon, Rai Zhe remained unmoved, his ultimate power and the fluctuations of nothingness filling his entire brain and body.

As the fist, brimming with murderous intent, touched the hair on his body, his body retaliated with a surprising speed.

“Ding-dang-dang-dang—!”

The fist, brimming with the killing intent to annihilate all life, collided with Rai Zhe's body, producing a deafening explosion like the clash of metal.

Every trace of killing intent that entered his body was reduced to nothingness by his all-encompassing power of nothingness. Then, as Lei Zhe swung his fist to counterattack, he unleashed a basic, heavy strike that flowed smoothly like water.
